"Nothing will happen to me, Kannagi. I'm going only for a short while. I'll be back before you know it."
The Kannagi epic, also known as the Silappatikaram, is one of the five great Tamil epics. Composed by Ilango Adigal, a Tamil poet, in the 2nd or 3rd century CE, the epic tells the story of Kannagi, a young woman from the town of Madurai. The narrative revolves around Kannagi's husband, Kovalan, a merchant who, along with his friend, sets out on a journey that ultimately leads to his downfall.
"Kannagi" is a classic Tamil epic poem, and providing a dialogue script in English can be a bit complex. However, I'll offer a guide on how to approach this.
Throughout her journey, Kannagi faces numerous challenges and hardships, meeting various characters who aid or hinder her progress. Her unwavering dedication to her husband and her unshakeable commitment to justice make her a compelling and relatable protagonist.
